to the male guests of current students. Reservations can be made by students
through the Elston Inn a week prior. Space is limited; first-come, first-served.
Each male guest can stay no longer than 3 consecutive nights in the Guest
House. Students can host male guests on campus at a cost of $10/night with a
$15 deposit that is reimbursed when the guest returns the key and bed linens.
Keys can be picked up at the Elston Inn lobby at the front desk; students must
sign in their guest and are responsible for their actions while they are on
campus. Please contact the Elston Inn (ext. 6207) for reservations and
information. The Inn closes daily at 11 p.m. and re-opens at 7 a.m.;
arrangements must be made before or after the hours of operation.

guests.
